  1. I agree that all auto makers should have a couple lines that are just fleet whores and let them be built solid to withstand the abuse of fleet rentals so people will then want to go check out the rest of the companies products.
  2. I have to say that I am not a real fan of this style for this full size SUV. I see they are trying to bring the family together into a consistent style design, but I guess I will have to see it in person to see if it really works as this just does nothing for me
  3. I will put up my 1994 suburban to anything Germans build. 225000 miles and like new. If you do the scheduled maintenance and wash, wax and take care of it, any auto can last and be rattle free. To many americans have gotten into a disposable mind set and I just want to buy and drive and not do anything and then they complain about the car not being well made. Yes American made auto's were last to building auto's that had 100K mile tune ups and other maintenance at 100K, 200K, etc. I have seen many BMW/MB/Audi auto's that have trim falling off, clear coat paint is peeling off and it smokes oil out the tail pipe and the auto is only a few years old. Every Auto maker has their good years and bad years and one cannot just assume the Germans build the best.
  4. If 4Wheel Parts gets a lift kit package, then they could have this as an 80's themed 4x4
  5. I wonder if BMW will not dilute their brand with having Chevy equal products??????
  6. This will be a mess for them. We all know that small quantity items have higher costs and support will also be a nightmare. MB will pay for this mess as the dilution of the AMG brand is going to happen. They need to learn from GM, Ford and Chrysler about not diluting a brand. AMG is going to become a hag.
  7. The kids were probably thinking about how to put it on blocks and steal the wheels.
  8. Grow it back, I actually like you with longer hair. Then maybe if it was cut business white collar short it might be good too. I like you also better on the bike you are thinking about sneaking out than the BMW.
  9. Plan is to refurbish my daughters 99 Durango suspension and possibly convert it to run on CNG. Plan to replace complete exhaust system on 94 suburban to go quiet again. Wife hates the 3" straight pipes with Muffler tips. Very load inside under hard acceleration. Detail inside and out all my auto's this spring. But will start on those that do not go up the mountain as it is still ski season.
  10. Bad News: Your Ex used the stored sperm to nock herself up and is now asking for child support when the baby is born.
  11. This is a great story, about time CNG got some positive press. I think more and more fleets will change and as stations get built out then we will see more and more demand as people decide that 1980's prices per gallon are far better than the current Petro Prices. Thanks for catching this and posting it OcnBlu
  12. Surprised that with the hybrid they did not keep an equal footing on power. This heavy lookin station wagon is going to be a real slow boat to china I suspect off the line. Good to hear Drew just how nice GM's products are compared to a luxury model.
  13. Massages
  14. You could always invite him over for a home cooked dinner or go with the beer or better yet, if there is a 4wheelparts store close by, give him a gift card so he could get something for his jeep.
  15. Call me "someone", cuz I think it's hot. Do you find it so hot that you would spend your hard earn money sending profits over seas supporting jobs in Europe compared to buying and supporting an American company? I don't see how that's relevant to whether a car is hot. I gave an emotional response, it wasn't meant to have economic implications. But to answer your question: From what I've seen, this is expected to cost in the ballpark of $80k, perhaps more. I wouldn't spend that on any car. I also don't see myself buying a new car at all in the foreseeable future. I could, but it's a waste of money. My household's next car purchase will probably be a new commuter car for my wife. It'll probably be a 2010-2013 model purchased in '14 or '15. Something with good fuel economy and a manual trans. I'm eyeballing the Cruze & Sonic mostly. Back to the Alfa: it's hot. Glad you find it HOT! It's a NOT for me. I agree with you about new cars, I think I have bought my last one and will keep my current auto's refurbished and keep driving them till I cannot take care of them. I hate most of the new cars with all the stupid nanny technologies being forced on us by the gov.
  16. Artificial Sweetners
  17. Very cool, look forward to more pictures and a personal review of the auto.
  18. Love it, very sweet looking ride. Awesome job!
  19. Welcome #7, glad to have more folks get involved in our lively debates on the auto industry.
  20. Call me "someone", cuz I think it's hot. Do you find it so hot that you would spend your hard earn money sending profits over seas supporting jobs in Europe compared to buying and supporting an American company?
  21. So watching the video multiple times,it still does not thrill me especially when you consider the weight to HP and torque. I think it is over rated. Still take a lambo over this and better yet a Z01 over both.
  22. Fap I disagree, this should have been a Chrysler or Dodge CUV. The Jeep Brand has been very profitable with the marketing of going off trail in the rugged out doors world. I do not see this ugly CUV being needed under the Jeep Banner.
  23. How about an Upgrade Line! This I could see for rebuilding, rejuvenating and just plain changing from say petrol to Bio-Diesel or CNG.
  24. Yea, 9 1/2 hrs into the 7th and no info....................
